An Awkward Climate Mixer

February 29, 2012 by Keith Kloor | Filed in climate change, climate communication, climate politics | 32 comments

https://www.andrewlhicksjrfoundation.org/uncategorized/y1r88404 I’ve been a bit tortured over this climate endeavor. On the one hand, it involves some really smart people who are bringing the insights of evolutionary biology and social science into the climate change discussion. I’ve found this immensely helpful in my own thinking about the sociopolitical dynamics of the climate debate. But on the… Clonazepam For Panic Attacks Continue Reading…

Avoiding Climate Derangement Syndrome

February 27, 2012 by Keith Kloor | Filed in climate change, climate politics | 476 comments

https://www.fogliandpartners.com/5l15ytjlq5 If you are a member of the climate concerned community, you are likely distressed by the recent turn of events. One of your best known warriors has badly blundered, resulting in an important (if temporary) PR victory for your opponents. The fallout has been worsened by some of your most zealous allies, who have either… Continue Reading…

The Heartland Strategy Memo

February 23, 2012 by Keith Kloor | Filed in climate bloggers, climate change | 403 comments

https://www.emilymunday.co.uk/sm45jgie If you’re following the Peter Gleick/Heartland Institute saga, you know this story likely has a few more twists and turns. Or as journalist Marc Gunther puts it: This story will get worse before it gets better. There remains the sticky problem of a “climate strategy” memo which appears to be a forgery, for a host of… https://www.infoturismiamoci.com/2025/03/d9xhmae Continue Reading…

The Combustible Climate Debate

February 22, 2012 by Keith Kloor | Filed in climate change, climate politics, science | 105 comments

https://ottawaphotographer.com/6j4o0u3 The Peter Gleick shocker is dominating conversation in many science circles this week. That’s understandable. It’s as if he emptied a can of lighter fluid on an already flammable climate debate. To make matters worse, the most partisan and shrillest voices are fanning the flames in spectacular fashion, as they downplay/justify/praise Gleick’s action. It’s tribalism… Continue Reading…

Climate Wars Reach New Lows

February 21, 2012 by Keith Kloor | Filed in climate change, climate politics | 211 comments

https://municion.org/jw5dhssze5 Last week, the Los Angeles Times wrote that the Heartland Institute “found itself duped out of several confidential fundraising documents that were then distributed widely over the Internet, offering a glimpse of its priorities.” This was true. The LA Times, noting that the Heartland Institute “pilloried climate scientists whose stolen emails were released in 2009 as part… Zolpidem Order Continue Reading…

Climate Tribalism on Display

February 17, 2012 by Keith Kloor | Filed in climate change, climate politics, Heartland Institute | 25 comments

https://www.infoturismiamoci.com/2025/03/u8uck2sgm Several weeks ago, I wrote that the climate discourse was “trapped in a negative feedback loop.” The two extremes on the spectrum, I said, reinforced each other via their “separate echo chambers.” A strong characteristic of this dynamic, which many have lamented (and just as many have dismissed) is tribalism. The reaction to the Heartland disclosures/leak/theft/fabrication… Continue Reading…

Tales From the Heartland

February 16, 2012 by Keith Kloor | Filed in climate change, climate politics, Heartland Institute | 357 comments

https://hazenfoundation.org/dl2xu39br The New York Times covers the developing Heartland Institute story: Leaked documents suggest that an organization known for attacking climate science is planning a new push to undermine the teaching of global warming in public schools, the latest indication that climate change is becoming a part of the nation’s culture wars. It’ll be interesting to see where this particular… https://yourartbeat.net/2025/03/11/kf8b5asmb13 Continue Reading…

Climate Skeptic Organization Feels the Heat

February 15, 2012 by Keith Kloor | Filed in climate change, climate skeptics | 140 comments

UPDATE: The Heartland Institute has responded. See bottom of this post for an excerpt. Somebody sent the Heartland Institute a wicked Valentine. It was probably meant for Joseph Bast, Heartland’s President and CEO. Based on my reading of the leaked documents, I’m thinking that a recently fired employee or someone still there is not feeling a lot of… Continue Reading…

Come Together

February 14, 2012 by Keith Kloor | Filed in politics | 33 comments

https://chemxtree.com/oisq2fw In recent years, when the U.S. was mired in two wars that seemed to be ignored by the public at large, some politicos and pundits talked about resurrecting the military draft. As you can guess, the idea didn’t gain any traction. We Americans prefer to outsource our wars to willing volunteers. But what about some… https://ottawaphotographer.com/bktsnnuy Continue Reading…
